Prerequisites

• OpenShift cluster with project "xormon" (or any other - need to change namespace in yaml files)
• access to Docker Hub (oficcial docker images are used)
• default StorageClass with autoprovisioning (or specify storage in yaml files)
• OpenShift oc cli tool installed

Sample yaml files custopmization

• Customize timescaledb.yaml
  
  • set database password in db-secret - in this example is password "CHANGE_ME"
  • use specific timescaledb container image version
  • timescaledb parameters can be tuned in args section
  • modify storage requirements
    
• Customize xormon.yaml
  
  • modify xormon secret - password must be the same as the previously configured
  • customize storage, if needed
  • customize container image versin
  • customize route with hostname or use default

Deployment

• Once the customization is completed, login to cluster with oc cli command. You can find oc login command in user menu:
  
• Deploy timescale db and customize ServiceAccount rights:

  # deploy DB
  $ oc apply -f timescaledb.yaml
    secret/db-secret created
    serviceaccount/timescaledb created
    statefulset.apps/timescaledb created
    service/timescaledb created
  
  # rights to serviceaccount
  $ oc adm policy add-scc-to-user anyuid -z timescaledb -n xormon
    clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/system:openshift:scc:anyuid added: "timescaledb"
  

• Wait some time for database pod starts, you can check in web UI or using cli

  $ oc get pod -n xormon
   NAME            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   timescaledb-0   1/1     Running   0          110s
  

• After database is succesfully started, deploy xormon application.

  # deploy xormon
  $ oc apply -f xormon.yaml
    configmap/xormon-config created
    secret/xormon-secret created
    serviceaccount/xormon created
    persistentvolumeclaim/xormon-data created
    deployment.apps/xormon created
    service/xormon created
    service/xormon-agent created
    route.route.openshift.io/xormon created
    
  # rights to serviceaccount
  $ oc adm policy add-scc-to-user anyuid -z xormon -n xormon
    clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/system:openshift:scc:anyuid added: "xormon"
  
  # check
  $ oc get pod -n xormon
    NAME                      READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    timescaledb-0             1/1     Running   0          5m5s
    xormon-7b8f97674d-qrwfx   1/1     Running   0          2m8s
  

• Wait for xormon application pod starts, it may take longer time.
  Wait about 5-10 minutes after pod is started and check if xormon is accessible.
  This yaml file creates route with default cluster apps domain (can be changed).
  
  
• Valid and trusted certificates can be uploaded in application settings.
